I had't been using the flanking rules, but they seem simple enough: Ganging up on the same target in melee gives you a free upgrade for every ally also ganged up on them, max 2 upgrades. In this case, Max, Duke, and Marv are all engaged with Petrovich, so that grants +2 auto upgrades on him.3 threat = Duke is now prone, too.
From near the back door, you hear someone swear, "Ah, f—" but the sound is stifled for some reason.

Jimmy lets out a whoop! as he leaps over the sudsy puddle, grabs the first cop through the door, and slams their head down on his knee. The officer drops to the ground, motionless. Jimmy looks back over his shoulder. "Uh, fellas, why you suppose these cops is wearin' gas masks?"

Gonna take advantage while Petrovich is still on the ground and snag this slot.Marv snarls at Petrovich on the ground, "Hope you're feeling bulky, cause I'm freakin FULL of cheeseburgers, baby. EXTRA HEAVY!"

Net 3 success 5 advantage on my attack for 7 damage 2 pierce, I'll use 4 advantage to crit and one to pass 1 boost.

OOC:
Ah, it should've been a boost to Duke, which would have made Duke's attack a success, and thereby activated Duke's "pack instincts" ability that passes 2 advantage to the next ally attacking the same target, which would have allowed Max to crit. Let's say that Petrovich stays prone, but I'll crit him twice (once the crit Max would have gotten, the second Marv's crit). (Incidentally, feel free to do your own d100 rolls for crits when you roll them.)96 = crippled (Hard [PPP]): one of the target's limbs is impaired until the injury is healed. Difficulty of all checks using that limb are increased by one.
51 = fearsome wound (Average [PP]): target increases difficulty of Presence and Willpower checks by one until the injury is healed.
OOC:
So, with that crit, he'd get an automatic difficulty increase to Brawl in vanilla Genesys. I'm going to rule that he can kick without the penalty, though, simply because this seems more genre appropriate to action-fighting flicks. Someone gets a limb crippled, so they have to use an attack without that limb. In this case, the Kick attack costs strain to use, so it's a tradeoff I think balances out in this setting.And... that's a miss! 1 Threat to you all. Strain him? Something else?

Heh. Sounds like your boss is having a bad night over there, Hank says to the man grappling with him.

I say strain him. If we can force him to use advantages on something other than boosts and crits, all the better for us.
Jul 31, 2020 1:56 pm
The man's buddy hurls himself into Hank and twists the man's other arm. "Is not so bad to get blood circulating." The man can't seem to get the right leverage over Hank as he and his ally both try to topple the large man. In their scuffling, though, the group pushes Hank up against a weight rack—hard. The rack falls over, sending free weights crashing to the ground and knocking Hank down to take the brunt of their weight.
Failure, but again 1 threat. Ideas on using it? Scratch that. Petrovich adds +1 advantage, nullifying that threat. I've got an idea for the Triumphs. ;D One will knock Hank prone, the second will dump some weights on his head...
That's 7 damage to Hank pre-soak.

The second grunt takes advantage of Hank being on the ground. With shades focused on Hank's legs, he tries to keep the man on the ground to open the door to some pummeling. As they scuffle, Hank finds it too much to avoid the man's grapple with the weights falling all around him, and he finds himself practically pinned.

Muffled by a gas mask, a voice from the hallway curses. "C'mon, man, seriously? You really want us to fill this place with gas?" The figure pushes through the three other police to flank Jimmy and attack him with a few body blows. Jimmy wheezes in pain, clutching his side and gasping for breath.

The three police take advantage of Jimmy's predicament and beat him with truncheons. "Stop resisting!"
Forgot they get another setback for the suds in the hallway, which saves Jimmy's bacon (from damage and crit). Net result is 4 advantage. They'll use it to take a free maneuver, disengaging from Jimmy, and passing a setback to Jimmy.

"Thanks for the backup!

Victor Petrovich, and guys number one and two man handling and molesting a middle aged man get up. Two counts of a 1006 attempted abduction, admission to knowingly letting prisoners escape and not reporting it, admission to multiple counts of possible 1006s abduction and kidnapping along with 2101s and 2103s as well as false imprisonment. Assault and battery with intent to maim. Victor Petrovich specifically assault and battery with intent to harm and maim a law enforcement officer multiple times. Conspiracy to cause general mayhem, property damage, and bodily harm to a public civil servant and the general populace. Conspiracy linked to possible Human Trafficking. Also I should call Captain Karen Guerriero and let her know I made my first arrests..." Max states clearly in a loud voice. "You're all under ARREST as stated don't resist.

Kermit, check the "spending Advantage etc. during Grappling Checks" table. A Triumph can always let you do a "Reverse," which lets you move into an Advantageous position regardless of your current status. Seems appropriate here. I'm guessing you used a maneuver to stand up?I'll strain Hank for the threat.

Remnant, Max can try a RRP Deception check or a PPP Leadership check to convince the cops that he's on their side. (There's no chance Petrovich, Lance, or Jimmy will bite.) 2 boosts: one for your armor, one for your legal-ese. If you want to sacrifice Duke's turn, that's worth a third boost.
